Autrey, 50, “is a great man – a man who makes us all proud to be New Yorkers,” the mayor said.

“A lot of people around the world know your father now,” Bloomberg told Autrey’s daughters, Shuqui, 6, and Syshe, 4, who were on the platform with their dad on Tuesday when he sprang into action.

The mayor echoed what many New Yorkers have wondered about Autrey’s leap onto the tracks at the 137th Street station, where he used his body to shield seizure victim Cameron Hollopeter, 20, in a trough between the tracks as a No. 1 train bore down on them.

“This morning, when I was getting on the subway as the express came, the Lex . . . I was looking at seeing how much space there was between the rails,” Bloomberg said.

“I don’t know what I would have done. Nobody knows until they’re faced with that situation.”

Autrey responded, “What I did was something that every and any New Yorker should do.”

Asked if he wanted to run for mayor, Autrey showed an innate flair for fielding questions.

He walked over to Bloomberg, put his arms around him and declared, “We’ve got the right man here.”

Elliot “Lee” Sander, the new executive director of the MTA, gave him a year’s worth of unlimited MetroCards, lauding his “death-defying act of bravery.”

And a Disney representative gave him and his family an all-expenses-paid trip to Disney World.

It was another whirlwind day for the newly minted celeb, who appeared on CBS’s “Early Show,” David Letterman’s “Late Show,” and accepted a $10,000 check from Donald Trump.

On Letterman, Autrey recounted his heroics – and revealed that one of his daughters “wanted to come in there behind me” onto the tracks. “Oh, she loves me like that,” he said.

On Monday, he’ll tape “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in an episode that will air the following day.

In a statement yesterday, the Hollopeter family said Autrey “deserves all the attention and accolades that are now being bestowed on him,” and called him “truly, a blessing from the Almighty.”

When Trump was asked why he gave Autrey the reward, he answered, “Just that you don’t see it often. Most people – something like that happens, they want to turn their head.”

Trump also presented Autrey with a $1,000 check from former Bear Stearns CEO Alan Greenberg and a $500 check from 91-year-old Evelyn Crawford Gluckman, a New Yorker who read about his heroism and asked Trump’s office if he could give her check to Autrey.
